Definitions

  • the present invention generally pertains to snap fasteners. More specifically, the present invention pertains to self draining snap fastener sockets. In embodiments, the snap fastener sockets have fluid drain holes which allow fluid, such as water, to drain from the snap fasteners.
  • the present invention also pertains to related methods, such as methods of making and using self draining snap fasteners.
  • Snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets exist. However, existing snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets can be improved. Water and other liquids may enter the snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets. However, the snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets may not permit the liquids to easily drain out from inside of the snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets. Liquids, such as water, retained in the snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets can degrade the devices and cause reduced performance, and in some cases even failure.
  • Snap fasteners used in marine applications are exposed to water, including salt water. Water which does not readily drain from the snap fasteners may cause corrosion. Corrosion can be a problem even to snap fasteners made of corrosion resistant materials, such as stainless steel. Corrosion of the snap fasteners can cause the snap fasteners to not function as desired. The corroded snap fasteners may be difficult to snap onto a corresponding snap fastener stud and/or unsnap from the snap fastener stud. Corroded snap fasteners may not have sufficient holding strength to retain the snap connection to the snap fastener stud and may undesirably be easily and unintentionally removed from the snap fastener stud.
  • water or other liquids retained inside of the snap fasteners and snap fastener studs may leave deposits, such a salt, as the liquids evaporate. Build-up of deposits inside of the snap fasteners and snap fastener studs can also degrade the performance of the devices.
  • Snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets have been oiled in attempts to address corrosion and build-up problems from retained liquids.
  • oiling of snap fasteners and snap fastener sockets is time consuming, costly, requires manual application of the oil, requires repeated application of the oil and is generally not practical.
  • the present invention provides new self draining snap fasteners and self draining snap fastener sockets which allow water and other liquids to drain from inside of the self draining snap fasteners and the self draining snap fastener sockets.
  • the self draining snap fastener socket can be removably attached to another snap fastener member, such as a snap fastener stud.
  • the self draining snap fastener socket has a snap action attachment/detachment portion defining a channel for a resilient snap member.
  • the channel has an annular side wall extending generally along an axial direction of the self draining snap fastener socket, an upper flange extending from an upper portion of the annular side wall toward a socket center, and a lower flange extending from a lower portion of the annular side wall toward the socket center.
  • a fluid passageway extends from the interior of the self draining snap fastener socket through the annular side wall to outside of the self draining snap fastener socket.
  • a self draining snap fastener socket has a snap action attachment/detachment portion and a mounting portion adjacent the snap action attachment/detachment portion.
  • the snap action attachment/detachment portion has an annular side wall extending along an axial direction of the self draining snap fastener socket.
  • the snap action attachment/detachment portion and the mounting portion define an interior of the snap fastener socket.
  • a fluid passageway extends from the interior of the self draining snap fastener socket through the annular side wall to outside of the self draining snap fastener socket.
  • the fluid passageway may be a plurality of holes through the annular side wall. At least one hole of the plurality of holes may have an oblong shape. The oblong shape of the at least one hole may extend in generally the axial direction of the self draining snap fastener socket.
  • the snap action attachment/detachment portion of the self draining snap fastener socket may have a radial lower flange connected to the annular side wall. At least one hole of the plurality of holes may also extend through the radial lower flange.
  • the self draining snap fastener socket may also have a resilient snap member positioned within the snap action attachment/detachment portion.
  • the resilient snap member may be at least one of a split ring and a parallel spring, or other suitable resilient member.
  • the self draining snap fastener socket may be at least partially made of a metal material and/or a plastic material.
  • a self draining snap fastener socket has a channel having an annular side wall, an upper flange extending from an upper portion of the annular side wall toward a socket center, and a lower flange extending from a lower portion of the annular side wall toward the socket center.
  • a resilient snap member is positioned in the channel.
  • a fluid drain hole is provided through the annular side wall of the channel.
  • the fluid drain hole may include a plurality of spaced-apart holes through the annular side wall.
  • the holes may have an oblong shape.
  • the oblong shape of the holes may extend in generally an axial direction of the self draining snap fastener socket.
  • the holes may also extend through the lower flange.
  • the resilient snap member of the self draining snap fastener socket may be a split ring or a parallel spring, or other suitable resilient member.
  • the self draining snap fastener socket may be at least partially made of a metal material and/or a plastic material.
  • Embodiments of the present invention may have various features and provide various advantages. Any of the features and advantages of the present invention may be desired, but, are not necessarily required to practice the present invention.
  • Advantages of the present invention can be to provide new snap fasteners and new snap fastener sockets.
